Bess Atwell Shares New Single ‘Nobody’
Following the release of her arresting single All You Can Do, emerging British singer and songwriter Bess Atwell is back with yet another gorgeous song titled Nobody, out now via Real Kind Records.
The latest single to be taken from her highly-anticipated album, Already Always, which is set to arrive on September 24th, Nobody is one of her more humble and stripped-back offerings, once again looking to highlight the rich and textured direction she brings to all of her songs. I am a fan of Bess Atwell's mesmerising vocals and how they are packed with raw emotion, instantly drawing my attention to her storytelling.
Nobody is a relatable song about loneliness and how frustrating it can be to feel like you don't belong. The song has somewhat of a melancholic touch that I really like and the acoustic guitar-based melodies (with subtle synth pads and bass) beautifully enhance this raw and intimate insight to her heartfelt persona. Such a gorgeous piece of music perfect for an introspective day home alone with my thoughts. Check it out below!
Speaking about the release, Bess Atwell said,
I wrote this song very quickly which is probably why it's one of my favourites. Writing can sometimes feel laboured and emotionally draining but this felt so easy and cathartic, sort of like it just fell out. It encapsulates a specific type of loneliness, a loneliness that I think I had probably been getting closer to conveying with every song on the record, but that finally felt solidified in this one which is why I decided to close the album with it. Often, the harder you try to figure yourself out, the further you get from knowing yourself. Without knowing yourself it can feel impossible to know and love other people. I was desperate for answers about where and who I was meant to be. 'Nobody' is focused on a specific relationship, but I hope it taps into something more universal - the feeling of lacking a sense of belonging.
